Registered agent

Set up registered agent service

Walk through the seven-step intake and what happens after you submit it.

Updated 2026-10-11

Registered agent coordination is set up through a short intake. Open Registered Agent in the sidebar and choose to start a new intake. The service currently covers Delaware companies.

The seven steps

  1. Choose Company: pick a company already in your account, or enter details for a Delaware company that is not in Institution yet.
  2. Company Details: legal name, entity type, Delaware filing number, and principal address.
  3. Current or Previous Registered Agent: tell us who the current agent is, if there is one, and upload the agent document.
  4. Service Contact and Notices: the primary notice email, an optional backup email, and how you want mail handled, as a digital scan only or forwarded to an address you give.
  5. Documents: upload formation papers, such as a certificate of formation or good standing, if you have them.
  6. Review and Pricing: check your answers and the price.
  7. Checkout Preparation: confirm the acknowledgements and continue to secure checkout.

Your progress saves at each step, so you can leave and come back. After checkout, the page shows that your details were submitted and that payment verification follows your intake.

Important

Payment verification and provider confirmation are tracked separately on the Registered Agent page. Institution coordinates the provider confirmation, and the status shown there tells you how far along it is.
